Concept of initial context:The starting point for resolution of names for naming and directory operations. Data base access: using Java Data Base Connectivity

  5/29/2023 3 When touse EJB For large scale applications: where resources and data are distributed. When the application is run on servers at many locations. Where scalability is critical. Where transactions are required to ensure data integrity When a variety of clients need to handled.

  5/29/2023 4 Types ofEnterprise Bean: Session Session bean: represents a single client inside the J2EE server. Session represents an interactive session. When a client terminates the session bean terminates/is no longer associated with the client. Stateful session bean: maintains a conversational state for the duration of a session. Ex: items reviewed in a session at some sites Stateless session bean: does not maintain a conversational state. Ex: computing a formula for a given value
• 5.
  5/29/2023 5 Types ofEnterprise Bean: Entity An entity bean represents a business object in a persistent storage mechanism. Ex: customers, orders, and products. Each entity bean typically has an underlying table in a relational database (business data), and each instance of the bean corresponds to a row in that table. Transactional and recoverable on a server crash.
• 6.
  5/29/2023 6 Types ofEnterprise Bean: Message-Driven A message driven bean is an enterprise bean that allows J2EE applications to process messages asynchronously. It acts as a JMS listener, which is similar to an event listener except that it receives messages instead of events. The messages can be sent by any J2EE component: an application client, another enterprise bean, or a web component, or a non-J2EE system using JMS. Retain no data or conversational state.

  5/29/2023 7 Contents ofan Enterprise Bean Interfaces: The remote and home interface for remote access. Local and local home accesses for local access. Enterprise bean class: Implements the methods defined in the above interfaces. Deployment descriptor: An XML file that specifies information about the bean such as its type, transaction attributes, etc. Helper classes: non-bean classes needed by the enterprise bean class such as utility and exception classes.

  5/29/2023 12 Designing anapplication Start with Remote interface methods. For completion write the Home interface. Implement these methods in a (session) bean class. Update build.xml “ant” file and compile using ant <target> Use the deploy tool to deploy the application on your j2EE server and set up the configuration. Write a client (preferably a web client) to test your enterprise application. Lets go through converter application. Your assignment is to make it a more meaningful and useful converter.

  5/29/2023 14 Session Bean Homeinterface Remote interface Bean class Deployment descriptor Can be stateless (ex: converter) or stateful (ex: cart) Stateless: container can maintain a pool of instances of session bean and reuse them for many client requests. Stateful: instance pooling can be done but what to with the state? Activate and passivate the instances by storing and restoring them from secondary memory.
• 15.
  5/29/2023 15 Cart StatefulSession Bean One or more ejbCreate methods (void methods) providing flexibility of instantiating the bean with various starting states. Business methods: addBook, removeBook, getContents Data (state): string customerId, string CustomerName, Vector contents
• 16.
  5/29/2023 16 Client calls+ bean and container response Client gets naming context. Client looks up the remote object interface. Narrows it to IIOP object and then casts it to CartHome to set “home” variable. Creates bean: Cart shoppingCart = home.create(“Bina”, “1234”); EJB container instantiates the enterprise bean. EJB container then calls the appropriate ejbCreate method in CartBean. Observe ejbCreate verifies the ID using an IDVerifier object. After successful creation and initialization of the bean the client can invoke business methods as follows:
• 17.
  5/29/2023 17 Cart BusinessMethod calls shoppingCart.addBook(“J2EE in 21 days”); shoppingCart.removeBook(“Java 2: inside information”); booklist = shoppingCart.getContents(); Now the client can print out the vector booklist.
• 18.
  5/29/2023 18 Other Features Storedin the enterprise bean’s deployment descriptor, an environment entry is a name- value pair that allows you to customize the bean’s business logic without changing its source code. A enterprise bean that calculates discounts, may have an environment variable named discount percent. Before deploying the bean’s application one can use the deploy tool to assign the proper value for discount percent. Look at CheckerBean example.

  5/29/2023 19 Entity Bean Datais at the heart of most business applications. In J2EE applications, entity beans represent the business objects that need persistence (need to be stored in a database.) You have choice of bean-managed persistence (BMP) and container-managed persistence (CMP). In BMP you write the code for database access calls. This may be additional responsibility but it gives control to the bean developer.

  5/29/2023 20 Entity Beanwith BMP: Example: SavingsAccount The state of the SavingsAccountEJB is stored in the savingsAccount table of a relational database. savingsAccount table could be created by a SQL statement as shown below: CREATE TABLE savingsAccount (id VARCHAR(3) CONSTRAINT pk_savingsaccount PRIMARY KEY, firstname VARCHAR(24), lastname VARCHAR(24), balance NUMERIC(10,2));
• 21.
  5/29/2023 21 SavingsAccountEJB This contains: Remoteinterface (SavingsAccount) Home interface (SavingsAccountHome) Entity bean class (SavingsAccountBean) Utility class: InsufficientBalanceException And a client to test it: SavingsAccountClient

  5/29/2023 23 Entity BeanMethods ejbCreate inserts the entity state into the database; initializes the instance variables and returns the primary key. ejbRemove will delete the record corresponding to the bean from the database. ejbLoad and ejbStore methods synchronize instance variables of an entity bean with the corresponding values stored in a database. ejbLoad refreshes the instance variables from the db and ejbStore writes variables to the database. Container does this not the client. ejbFinder allows client to locate entity beans. Find the collection of records with “Smith” as author. Business methods and home methods.
